By: Israel Adeleke
OPEN TELEVISION NAIJA (OTN) News reports that a former Kaduna Central Senator, Shehu Sani, has said that the Secondary School Certificate is enough for all politicians who need to contest elections or secure a political appointment in the country.
OTN News further reports that Sani, made the comment on Monday following an investigative report that revealed the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, disowned the Bachelor of Science degree certificate in the possession of the Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation, Uche Nnaji, who did not complete his studies at the institution and was never issued a certificate.
The senator who reacted to the controversy surrounding the certificate saga in a post via his X handle on Monday, cautioned political office seekers against making false claims about their academic qualifications.
He wrote, “All you need to contest elections or for political appointment is a secondary school certificate.
There is no way in the realm of politics one can claim any unearned qualifications without his or her political opponents digging into the matter. Some troubles are unnecessarily self-inflicted.”
